The upcoming match between Montpellier and Saint-Étienne is set to be an exciting one, with both teams having their own strengths and weaknesses.
The visiting team has been performing well away from home, showing that they are a strong and competitive side regardless of the venue. On the other hand, Montpellier will have home advantage and a good chance of coming out on top in this encounter.
One key factor to consider is the away team's struggles to score goals on the road. This could be a disadvantage for them, especially against a Montpellier side whose defense has been a cause for concern in terms of results, even at home. On the other hand, Saint-Étienne will need to reevaluate their defensive line when playing away from home, as it has not been as solid as they would hope for.
Looking at the recent history between the teams, we can expect an entertaining match with plenty of goals. The team coached by Jean-Louis Gasset has had a goal-scoring average of 0.8 goals per game this season, while the visiting team has an average of 1 goal per game. This suggests that we could see some action in front of the goal from both sides.
In terms of form, the visiting team seems to have the upper hand over the home team. The recent head-to-head matchups have resulted in 2 wins for the home team, 3 wins for the away team, and no draws. This indicates that the visiting team has been more successful in recent encounters.
